mircea_popescu: anyway, he doesn't have an office, he worked as a sort of that-fat--and-gay-guy-in-high-fidelity
mike_c: mthreat: amzn doesn't count, they aren't trying to make money.
mike_c: :) plus, i actually hold some PG and i ain't selling that either.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't.
mike_c: 22b * $123 = $2.5 T. that is pretty far off
mircea_popescu: i still can't quite believe icbc is listed as a pink wtf bbq
cazalla: i don't think there are any australian ones, i think BHP Billiton has cap of like 50-60b
mike_c: challenging, right? these companies shouldn't exist.
thestringpuller: something big about to go down ain't it?
mike_c: don't be stuck in the 90's. usability should never trump slick design.
BingoBoingo: Even supposing the thing identifies tylenol it isn't identifying any interesting high molecular weight compounds
asciilifeform: i didn't see mortar/pestle in the photo, sorta assumed it must've been there
asciilifeform: don't they make anyone use actual ir spectrometer in school now?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: That's diginork's link. If such a kickstarter succeeded I wouldn't trust it to identify interesting things...
asciilifeform: don't keep these 'coins' with your bank cards...
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i suggested it as 'coin' simply as thought experiment in generalizing the 'use-value' of btc. that is, material that cannot be confused with anything else (Hg, for instance, on top of being rather common, can be substituted with 'gallinstan' alloy. but you can't raise melting point of Ga by mixing in impurities - only lower it)
asciilifeform: i'd leave this gedankenexperiment on the shelf. just because you can, doesn't mean that you must. but, on the other hand, nobody's gonna play tungsten games with 'gold' that's liquid at 30c.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> conferences for actual tools aren't that bad of an idea compared to bitcoin conferences << agreed
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> if it just works they don't need you anymore. << i need him more when it works.
benkay: conferences for actual tools aren't that bad of an idea compared to bitcoin conferences
benkay: i mean granted i don't know shit about shinola
mike_c: if it just works they don't need you anymore.
mike_c: kako doesn't understand job security
mircea_popescu: re bio challenge : no. but this wasn't a magistrate was he
asciilifeform: what really boggles my mind is all the folks (e.g. a. schwartz) who were turned loose, with the understanding that they'll report to jail at appointed hour, etc. and no radio collar, etc.; now, they probably won't be permitted in an airport, but mexico is not so far...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: can't help but wonder where this one stood
pankkake: sure, but the prison sentence isn't useful in that way. will this teach other bureaucrats?
asciilifeform: chetty: i'd be surprised if every judge in usa weren't guilty of these and other crimes. but this one is removed. --> for reasons.
FabianB: !t m F.MPIF
asciilifeform: rp doesn't - all it does is reposition x11 windows created by other progs
asciilifeform: which doesn't
asciilifeform: 'ratpoison' doesn't - but if it did, all you'd have to do is change its own bindings (they're all configurable)
benkay: granted this pernicious notion was planted in my head by the notorious lee, so i don't know if it carries any water.
asciilifeform: benkay: the wm 'ratpoison', imho, looks better than osx. i.e., it doesn't draw extraneous crud on the display at all...
fluffypony: we don't even KNOW
fluffypony clearly isn't cool
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: didn't you know?
chetty: people can't be bothered to read mostly, much less evaluate the content in any reasonable manner
asciilifeform: it didn't.
mike_c: you didn't see last pic?
gribble: Loper OS » Don't Blame the Mice.: <http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1299>; OF MICE & MEN LYRICS - Blame It - A-Z Lyrics: <http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/ofmicemen/blameit.html>; Misleading results: don't blame the mice.: <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24458625>
asciilifeform: ;;google don't blame the mice
asciilifeform: TLS/SSL bug... hasn?t been found for over 16 years << don't blame the fscking mice...
mircea_popescu: well you can't have it all
mike_c: !t h rent
asciilifeform: at any rate, Hg has >2x the density of Ga. and the latter, unlike Hg, won't boil on a gas flame.
mircea_popescu: but maybe the reason that ive not found it is that your buying doesn't compare with 8 millenia of trying to defraud the currency
mircea_popescu: jurov a glass bottle can't be full of a metal ffs.
jurov: you can't easily measure the volume while it's inside the bottle
asciilifeform: jurov: so it'd be best stored in glass containers..and how do you ascertain it wasn't amalgamated with mercury << there's the beauty. melting point. no way to fake Ga melting point and have anything like the density.
pankkake: GoDaddy hasn't made a profit since 2009. The company lost $279 million in 2012. It bled another $200 million last year. This year doesn't look much better, with another $51 million lost in the first quarter
mircea_popescu: mike_c trying to be paypal. except they won't be able to
mircea_popescu: i didn't realise this at the time.
thestringpuller: I don't sell outside the US just sending you and MP cookies.
thestringpuller: Don't they open packages at customs?
davout: thestringpuller: oic, weren't you supposed to send me a cookie for some reason i forgot?
davout: thestringpuller: that i got, wasn't the question tho :)
davout: well, why don't they give a price then ?
pankkake: I don't know many who have only 1% for CC
davout: but if it wasn't, such shame
pankkake: jurov: I didn't even understand my joke at first
pankkake: actually there might have been a year ago, when I wasn't very active
pankkake: the logs are public but I don't remember that much
fluffypony: because you don't have to read months and months worth of threads
pankkake: danielpbarron: i've seen a few of those cases; overly enthusiastic towards things they don't fully understand
danielpbarron: actually lately he hasn't really mentioned crypto-stuff at all, which is good; I was giving him a hard time for this stuff on twitter
punkman: do they have something more low level? so you don't need a plugin for every app
punkman: wouldn't be nice to have to change everything if .bit gets sold
danielpbarron: you could instead register id/kakobrekla and it won't give you a .bit, but something else
chetty: case in point, people as here right off about how to get voice, and its in the chan topic, you can't miss it
joesmoe: and since i don't have any trust with assbot, does that mean that he won't voice me?
joesmoe: yup i didn't realize the "long key" was the same as fingerprint
joesmoe: it can't be my entire pub key as that is too long
joesmoe: [11:36] gribble: I don't recognize you.
jurov: so it'd be best stored in glass containers..and how do you ascertain it wasn't amalgamated with mercury or such?
pankkake: tradition. because computers weren't in the broken 16:9 ratio
fluffypony: if I didn't know any better I would say that's OS X Guhurkagurkle
BingoBoingo: OMG look at the review of everything that doesn't matter in an OS http://delightlylinux.wordpress.com/2014/04/17/xubuntu-14-04-released/
punkman: I don't see one
BingoBoingo: I just don't think we are getting that third change.
TheNewDeal: arithmetic doesn't phase me
BingoBoingo: Selling a .33 stake at 30,000 weight for.33 BTC isn't going to be feasible.
TheNewDeal: close doesn't really matter to us
BingoBoingo: Ah, so what works again? You want to pay ? for a stake with the timeweight adjusted upwards? Wouldn't it be easier to adjust the price paid or the portion of the stake purchased?
TheNewDeal: that doesn't work out for me
TheNewDeal: we could definitely swap, but I don't see how it would help you out
TheNewDeal: first off, I don't think there will be any late bettors here
TheNewDeal: My position will currently pay out 1.22 per 1 invested, but I have like 4X more invested, so it doesn't make much sense to buy a small fraction
TheNewDeal: well it wouldn't really make too much sense for me financially, unless you had much more timeweight
mike_c: well, house bets are ahead. the house isn't because it gives away half the bets.
TheNewDeal: I don't want any of your no :D
TheNewDeal: I'm very sad I didn't get to see the sexy Sharapova in action :(
mike_c: hah, yeah, i'm glad i didn't watch it. too much of a sweat.
TheNewDeal: can't believe 7 btc was laid down on that bet
TheNewDeal: I love mango and I love ginger, but I haven't had the combination. Sounds like an indian dish to me
asciilifeform: ban isn't quite the word here
asciilifeform: tbh, i wasn't properly banned from any of them.
mircea_popescu: "enjoyment of the first look you take at a comment page is prioritized over active participation. That's great if you're trying to attach ads to pictures of cats, but if you're trying to have a real conversation, it just gets in the way. I can read, I don't need an algorithm to tell me which comments are notable and which ones are junk. If I see a troll post on any other site, I don't seize up and have an aneurism, I j
mircea_popescu: this dovetails neatly with "women don't have to do anything in particular to not get fucked"
BingoBoingo: What the fuck. Someone provokes annoyance in good faith and the response is now to lie and cover yourself in shit so they don't want to be seen around you?
